Came to Kill Another.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA New Orleans spe-
cial says: about year ago Marshall
Eastry, who was living in Amite county,
Mississippi, returned to his native parish of
st. Helena, where he secured work in saw
mill owned by Mr.. Hurst Yesterday while
Mr.. Hurst was in the mill a man named
SweariDger, who was carrying gun, came
up and engaged in friendly conversation
with him. A few minutes after
they were joined by another man named
Newman, who was also armed. AS soon as
Newman came up, Swearinger turned to
Eastry and said: 1--WE have come from Mis-
sssippi to kill you," at the same time dis
charging both brrrels of his gun in Eastry's
body, but without killing him. Eastry ran
into the mill, got his gun and riddled Swear
niger with bullets, killing him in
stantly. Newman also fired, but missed,
whereupon Eastry pursued him, unaware of
the fact that both barrels of his gun were
empty. Newman fled and he pursued him
for some distance, attempting to fire his
gun, but dropped dead in the act. Newman,
who is the only one living of the trio, is held
for murder He claims that he and Swear

SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.
President Glennan, in the course of his
opening address, referred to the brighter
prospects for the home rule party in Ireland,
and expressed the hope that the flag of Erin
would soon float over a free country. As
American citizens the members of the
union sympathized with the efforts made
for the freedom of Ireland. These refer
ences were warmly applauded. He said
that while they were all one in faith, they
were also one in common love of this coun-
try, where freedom of conscience was se-
cured to all citizens. He congratulated the
members upon living in such country and
in such an age.

Catholicity While the members of this
union revere and love the land of their
nativity and their ancestry, still they
recollect that they are members of the same

are citizens of this grand republic, the only
nation on earth that guarantees civil and
religious liberty, and in this sense all are

A NATURAL GAS JUBILEE.
Toledo Celebrates the Introduction
Into tho City.

TOLEDO, O., Sept. Tonight was de-
voted to a natural gas jubilee in honor Of
the arrival of the new fuel in Toledo it be-
ing piped from the Hancock and
Wood county fields. Stand pipes
were erected ON the principal street
corners. each bearing roaring torch
of flame, as big as a hay stack, burning
under pressure of 800 pounds to the square
inch, which makes the city as light as day,
A grand open air meeting was held, the
audience numbering fully 1900 people.
Mayor Hamilton presided, and ex-President
Il. B. Hayes was the orator of the occasion.
PERMANENcy OF THE SUPPLY.
In the course of his speech Mr., Hayes
read communication written in reply to
his own inquiry from Professor Edward
Orton, State Geologist, regarding the per-
manency of the natural gas supply. Pro-
fessor Orton thinks the supply win finally
fail, but that it will be years before
there is any diminution of the present
production from the deep strata. He de-
clared emphatically that the supply in the
great fields of Northwestern Ohio and In
diana will last much longer than the Pitts
burg field, because the swells of Trenton lime
stone, which act as reservoirs for the gas,
cover hundreds of square miles, while in
Pennsylvania they are OF much less extent,
the comparison being the same as between
an isolated mountain and vast noun
tain plateau. Prof. Orton expressed
the opinion that cities that have once used
this fuel will never go back TO coal, but
that plans will be perfected for making fuel
gas from coal very cheaply, 50 that it will
be more economical to use than coal, the
Use of which he anathematiaeS as very

RANDALL NOT A BIG GUN.
THE PRESIDENT IGNORES HIM IN
THE OAK VIEW CONFERENCES.

The Pennsylvanian Went as Far as
Possible in His Endeavor to Gain
Recognition-He May Finally Gain a
Hearing Representative Scott Says
the Majority Will Be Consulted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Hon w. L.
Scott, of Pennsylvania, returned to the city
this evening from his visit to the President
at Oak View, and was seen by a reporter of
the Associated Press. When asked whether
the tariff and reduction of the revenue had
been discussed by the President and himself
and Secretary Fairchild and Mr.. Carlisle,
and whether any bill had been agreed
upon, he said that this subject, as
well as other public matters, had
been talked about and that while there was
no difference of opinion among the gentle
men present as to the necessity for an early
reduction of the revenues and taxation, no
measure for that purpose had been agreed
upon, and none would be without consulta-
ton with the members belonging to the
majority in the House of Representatives
1t was the opinion of all that there ought to
be very considerable reduction at the
earliest possible date after the meeting of
Congress, but the manner in which the re-
duction should be made was considered only
in a general way, and no details We're agreed
upon This, he said, was all that could be
said about the so-called conference, and the
statements upon the subject going the
rounds of the press were mere Speculations.
RANDALL sNUBBED.
Representative Randall has not as yet
been invited to the conferences. The state
ment sent out last night to the effect that
he attended a conference held at Oak View
Yesterday with the President, Mr.. Carlisle
and Secretary Fairchild was as baseless
as the statement that the conferees
had agreed upon a tax reduction
bill. The fact seems TO be that Mr. Randall
came down here feeling some pride in what
he considered his victory at Allentown, and
believing that he would be invited
10 take part in the conferences which the
President is having with Mr.. Carlisle and
Secretary Fairchild, but he has waited here
in vain.
THE PRESIDENT NOT THERE
Today he announced that he would call
at the White House this afternoon, and if
the President was not there, would go back
to Philadelphia without seeing him. The
President did not come into the White
House, remaining at Oak View. When some
of Mr.. Randalfs friends here learned this,
they suggested to Mr.. Randall that he wait
over until tomorrow, in the hope that the
President might come in tomorrow, or else
invite Mr.. Randall out to Oak View Mean
while none of the gueSSes at the nature of
the work done in the conferences at Oak
View has any better basis than the ingenuity
of the guesser. No one outside of the
confereeS themselves know whether the out
come is to be tax reduction bill or para
graph in the Presidents message. All that
is known is that tax reduction is being dis
cussed and steps taken to adopt feasible
plan which will bring it about. Represen-
tative Miles, of Texas, has little more to do
with these conferences than Representative
Randall. of Pennsylvania

SHARPS APPEAL.
The Special Term of the Supreme
Court ConveneS.


Court ConveneS.
NEW YORK, Sept. THE extraordinary
general term of the Supreme Court ordered
by Gov. Hill to hear the appeal from the
Judgment of conviction of Jacob Sharp,
convened this morning. The Judges pre-
siding were Van Brunt, Brady, Daniels and
Bartlett When the business of the
court was about to begin District
Attorney MARITIME said that he was
given to understand that Mr.. Nicolls and
Mr.. Stickney had come to some arrange
ment regarding the argument. He, how
ever, was anxious to go on at once. Mr..
Stickney said that the defense had not had
sufficient notice and therefore were not
y'eady to go on to-day. 1t appeared that
Sndge Van Brunt had already had some
hing to do with the Sharp
trial and on that ground Mr.. SticAney
thought that three instead of four Judges
would be enough. The three Judges held a
consultation, and agreed that Judge Van
Brunt should form part of the bench. The
case was then, after a short discussion, adj
journed until Tuesday morning next, at 10
o'clock.

Attorney.
"Well," curtly replied Mr.. Stickney, II

BOND OFFERS REJECTED.

Assistant Secretary Thompson
Thought They Were Too High.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-The offerings of
* per cent. bonds to the Treasury for re-
demption to-day aggregated $2,675, 800 at
rates from ITO to 1885, All were rejected
Acting Secretary Thompson said the reason
why he rejected all the offers was
because he thought the prices
asked were too high. The rates
were, he said, higher than those at which
bonds were purchased last week, and more
than he thought should be paid. He alone
was responsible for the rejection of the
offers for, although Secretary Fairchild is
in the city, be took no official cognizance of
the proposals. Secretary Fahchild is a
guest Of the President at Oakview. Neither
of them came into the city to-day.
